Need powdered sugar but don't have any? This is one of those DIY hacks that you just know you're going to need someday so make sure to save it right now! It's so easy to make your own powdered sugar in a pinch with just 2 ingredients.
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a blender until it becomes a fine, airy powder. Use just as you would confectioner's (powdered) sugar.
Store the powdered sugar in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I was making puppy chow & after I had the chocolate mixture made, realized I didn't have any powdered sugar! Uggh! Frustrating since I usually have it on hand! However, I was a bit skeptical of this recipe, seeing the corn starch in it - but it turned out beautifully. I did add a bit more sugar because it just didn't seem very sweet, but just a Tablespoon or so...nothing major. All in all, quick, easy, tastes pretty darn good :)
